Rodney McGruder: Kansas St.

In their first game against No. 9 Southern Miss, the Kansas St. offense was all Rodney McGruder.

The junior guard was the reason that the Wildcats were able to advance. While the rest of the team took some time to get into the flow of the game, McGruder took no time and attacked. Every time the Wildcats needed a big basket, McGruder was there, scoring 30 points.

Syracuse is going to have a lot on their plate trying to guard this kid.

Kyle O'Quinn and the Norfolk St. Spartans pulled off one of the biggest upsets by beating No. 2 Missouri yesterday.

After four years at NSU, O'Quinn was awarded with a NCAA tournament win and national attention. Missouri had no answer for the big man who had 26 points and 14 rebounds, looking unstoppable on the block.

This could be a fairy tale in the making if NSU can keep winning. Next up is No. 7 Florida.
